Do you need a MacBook Air with a m1/m2, if you have a ThinkPad X390 Yoga?

I have both a MacBook Air M3 and ThinkPad X390. The MBA has literally 2-3 times the battery life and a much better screen. However, I prefer the keyboard of the X390 and it is slightly more compact and easier to hold. You also have to see which platform has all the required apps you need for your li

What is the best computer for vector drawings?

You’re already in the Apple ecosystem with the iPad, so I would suggest sticking with a Mac. You don’t need anything overpowered for Adobe Illustrator, just something that runs smoothly when files get a bit more complex. A MacBook Air (M3 or newer) with 16GB RAM is a sweet spot. Fast, portable, and

Rant

I’ve seen issues on my iPhone 16 pro max after ios26. But not on my m3 MBA after Tahoe. Granted my M3 air started becoming “buggy” after 5 months(I got it in February 2025 brand new). And I’m kinda mad that I didn’t know M4 air was being released 2 months after I got the M3 lol. I got the 24GB versi

MacBook Neo: 48 hours in and I’m genuinely blown away

I agree, I would much rather get a refurb M2 or M3 air and forgo the single core performance superiority of the Neo. I had been asking my wife to upgrade from her MacBook 12” for years because the Intel Core i5 1.3Ghz was woefully behind but she said no because the M-series Air was too heavy. When t

Laptop Suggestion for a Design Student

If budget allows, a MacBook Air M3 with 16GB is a solid pick for design, great display and smooth performance. Windows works too if specs are strong. IMS DIA is redefining creative education with its industry-focused curriculum and global exposure.

macOS Metal v3 build

I just tried it and unfortunately I'm experiencing terrible latency compared to moonlight-qt (from this PR: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/pull/1557). It's a MacBook Air M3 running Sequoia 15.7.5 (yes, I know, but it's a work Mac and they lock the version). However, the colors are

MacBook Neo: Any PWM? If not, what are your favorite display settings?

I use Stillcolor but still have terrible problems with my MacBook Air M3 hurting my eyes. It's not blue light, I've read that even with stillcolor there is still some temporal d1thering happening at the hardware level.
